American soldiers aboard, was tor- | pedoed. All hands ;were saved and the troop ship beached. To save time, instead of launch-/ ing the boats, the men clambered down the ropes to the destroyers, which swarmed around the stricken | vessel and came alongside. The troop ship was a member of a large covoy approaching the| English coast. The vessel was tor-| pedoed about 200 miles from, shore at 3 o'clock Friday-after- noon. | The transfer of the soldiers to| the torpedo boats was quickly | made without injury to any one.) They all escaped injury when the torpedo exploded and were soon en route to a British port. There was no sign of panic aboard. Many troops were from Chi- cago, Cleveland, with a large per-! centage of factory hands of for- eign extraction. | Several soldiers told the Asso- ciated Press that they saw the Ger- | man submarine lifted clear out of the water after one of the depth) bombs exploded, and then it en-| tirely disappeared. Something was wrong with the ship’s engined, which compelled | her for a time to lag behind the) rest of the convoy. She was catch- ing up when torpedoed. | The torpedo hit just forward of | the engine room. The shiv im- mediately began to sink by the bow. Many soldeirs at the time were taking their baths. They did not wait to dress, but made for the deck with what clothing they could lay their hands on. The water was rushing in at such a rate that it was thought the ship would founder immediately. To the surprise of the soldiers the ship did not sink. Some means were apparently found to check the inrush of water and she got near enough to shore to be beached.

Some progress was made in the Vermand region where the British are closing in upon St. Quentin from the north while the French are pushing up from the south. Further North the British have gained a foothold in the towns of Peiziitre and Epehy, two and a half miles from the Hindenburg line opposite Lecatelet. The Germans are resist- ing strongly here, as this section of the line forms a part of the defenses of Cambrai. Their resistance also is taking the form of strong counter attacks from Gouzeaucourt north. They gained a long British post in hard fighting last night but otherwise were repulsed. The defense of Cambrai likewise is beine carried to the aggressive side by the Germans along the Canal du Nord, where British stand far inside the Hindenburg line. The enemy sharply counter attacked near Noeuvrs and in both cases the British held their ground. [By United Press} WITH THE BRITISH ARMY AFIELD, Sept. 11.—The British attacked at 3 o’clock this morning northwest of Peizeire.
